A member asked:
Was on antibiotic that made birth control void, used condom for sex, it broke so i took an ella (ulipristal acetate) to be safe tonight condom broke again is ella (ulipristal acetate) ok again?

Depends on how long: ago it was used. Has a half life of 32 hours hence could still be effective if you took it 2 days ago. Otherwise it should be okay, Partner may need education on appropriate use of condom to decrease need for emergency pill

Yes: Ella (ulipristal acetate) is safe to take again. It is best to be safe and repeat the dose then to have an unwanted pregnancy. Good luck.
